I was at Gentry Square for 4 years, and I loved every second of it. The rent was a bit higher compared to the other places off-campus, but I think it was worth it.

I must say, the best thing was the maintenance. Whenever I had a problem, the guys always came to fix it (and they're very friendly and kind) right away. Sometimes, they'd tell me that it may take a few days because they're busy, but they ALWAYS came the next day, if not on the same day.

The office staff is very nice, helpful, and understanding. I don't know what their pet policy is now (since I saw quite a bit of dogs walking around by the time I left), but when I signed the lease in the beginning, they didn't allow pets. I got a permission to have a bird though, but there was a misunderstanding, and I thought that the birdS were allowed. When the office found out, they didn't like it at first, but with a promise to keep the place clean, they allowed me to keep all of them (7 at one point...tiny ones).

The place is extremely quiet. Of all those 4 years I was there, I only heard a faint sound of someone's music, less than 5 times! I always felt like I was the only one living at the the entire complex. It could've been because I was at a 1 bedroom, and so were the others around me, but even so, the neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful. Could be different now with a different pet policy, maybe, I would't know.

I highly highly recommend this place. I had to move, so that's why I moved out, but now that I'm in a different state at a different apartment complex with a high rating on this website, I still really miss Gentry Square and would move back in a heartbeat. If I move back to Champaign, I would definitely go and find a room again.

Thank you for everything, Gentry Square! :)
